1944-01: (The Baby Girl Found Near the Shore — the Night Also Offering Cover from Eyes and Opinions of Those Who May Not Have Understood or Pathologized the Limits of a Parent’s Resource and Capacity to See a Future for Her Baby Girl on the Unsettled Land of LaSaline, the Road That Ran Parallel to the Sea Being the Same Road the Women Returning North from the Foyer Would Have Walked — Perhaps It Was Those Groups of Women Walking Home Who Heard the Baby Girl Rejecting the Care of the Sea in the First Days of 1944, Some Ambulant Group or Lone Commuter Ushering the Baby Girl to the Maternity Ward at the General Hospital): The night also offered cover from eyes and opinions of those who may not have understood, decontextualized, or pathologized the limits of a parent’s resource and capacity to see a future for her baby girl on the unsettled land of LaSaline. The road that ran parallel to the sea, just beyond the old city ports, was the same road that the women returning north from the Foyer would have walked. Perhaps it was those groups of women walking home from the Foyer who heard the baby girl rejecting the care of the sea in the first days of the new year of 1944. Some ambulant group or lone commuter ushered the baby girl to the maternity ward at the general hospital back across town between zones IV and II — Sanders Johnson does not resolve the scene but holds its possibilities open: the women who walked home from the Foyer may have been the ones who saved the baby that the sea had refused to take.
